TRANSLATION
At the end of the millennium, when the Personality of Godhead Lord Nārāyana lay down within the water of devastation, Brahmā began to enter into Him along with all creative elements, and I also entered through His breathing.
PURPORT
Nārada is known as the son of Brahmā, as Lord Krishna is known as the son of Vasudeva. The Personality of Godhead and His liberated devotees like Nārada appear in the material world by the same process. As it is said in the Bhagavad-gītā, the birth and activities of the Lord are all transcendental. Therefore, according to authorized opinion, the birth of Nārada as the son of Brahmā is also a transcendental pastime. His appearance and disappearance are practically on the same level as that of the Lord. The Lord and His devotees are therefore simultaneously one and different as spiritual entities. They belong to the same category of transcendence.
